Tidily conventional, soft-toned, straw-hazed IPA lets mild lemony grapefruit rind bittering, light juniper bite and piney hop resin contrast juicily orange-peeled pineapple and mango tang to lollipop-candied citrus finish. In the distance, buttery Chardonnay, lemon tart, tangelo, melon and mandarin orange subtleties flutter.

On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, Vermont maple syrup glazes cocoa-dried peat and mild vanilla splurge of easygoing Bavarian-style dark ale.
TROEGS DOUBLE NUGGET NECTAR
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar. Retaining only some of the resilience of original Nugget Nectar, this bigger version ups the Simcoe hopped piney dankness but defers the spruce tipped insistence, lowers its honey-spiced fruiting and allows light white peppered perfuming to enter the fray.
TROEGS GRAND CACAO CHOCOLATE STOUT
Soft-tongued milk-sugared dark cacao pleasantry and vanilla-daubed burnt caramel creaming contrast mild earthen hop char over molasses oats base of velvety semi-sweet chocolate fodder. Beneath, chalky mocha dryness encounters slight weedy dirtiness.
TROEGS LUCKY HOLLER HAZY NEIPA – 2021
“Soft, juicy hazy IPA” evenly spreads tangy orange, pineapple, passionfruit and grapefruit tandem alongside Gummy Bear waxed candy of upgraded Simcoe-Citra-Galaxy-hopped dry body. Beneath the surface, briny pine licks bring mild bittering to pasty cardboard bottom.

TROEGS TROEGENATOR DOUBLEBOCK (BOURBON BARREL-AGED)
On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, sweet bourbon vanilla pleasantry enjoins dry whiskey tones and mildly creamed brown chocolate malting, splashing noirish burgundy warmth on the delicate finish.

TROEGS RASPBERRY TART
TROEGS GOLDEN THING DRY-HOPPED DOUBLE IPA
TROEGS HOP KNIFE HARVEST IPA
Sunshiny orange zest and mildly spiced lemony grapefruit tang lead easygoing tropicalia. Bright citrus luster gains teasing piney hop resin and latent herbal astringency to contrast crisp amber-grained pale malt toasting.
TROEGS BLIZZARD OF HOPS WINTER INDIA PALE ALE
Wintry IPA ups the tropical fruit spicing and lowers the piney hop resonance for ‘end of year hop cycle’ celebration. Lovely floral-perfumed grapefruit, orange, pineapple and peach tang gains ancillary mango-nectarine-tangerine conflux and dry wood tone above mild biscuit base. More like a “gentle spree of hops” and that ain’t a putdown for this relaxingly accessible moderation.
